Notes from running HR systems
Practical write-ups about the parts that usually go wrong: the first payroll run, attendance disputes, leave policies that stop making sense at scale, and Arabic interfaces that are more than a translation.
What to check before your first payroll run in a new system
The first run is the one that decides whether anyone trusts the system. Six things are worth checking twice before you approve it.

Attendance without arguments
Most attendance disputes are not about dishonesty. They are about a record that nobody could see until it was too late to fix.
A leave policy that survives growth
Policies written for thirty people fail at three hundred in predictable ways. Most of them are about edges nobody wrote down.
Arabic interfaces done properly
Mirroring the layout is the easy part. The parts that get missed are typography, numerals and the order of things that are not text.
Rather see it than read about it?
